Samsung has reportedly won a contract to make the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 5G chips via its most advanced chip-making technology, the 5nm process. According to two sources familiar with this information, the Korean giant won’t receive all orders to make Qualcomm chips, but it will still help Samsung gain a lead against its biggest rival, TSMC.
Reuters reports that Samsung won’t be given all orders for the Snapdragon X60 modems as some of them will be divided with TSMC too. Qualcomm appears to be using the ‘Apple way’ of conducting business; employing more partners, most likely to obtain better pricing opportunities. Unfortunately, Qualcomm, Samsung, and TSMC have not commented on their business relationships or endeavors for the time being, according to the latest report.
